I am creating drawings from parts imported into Solidworks that lost threaded features. Is there a rule of thumb for how much of the hole to leave unthreaded or how far to tap past the end of the bolt?
For example, a 40 mm M8 socket head cap screw is holding two blocks together. The block the...
I'm dimensioning a bunch of 2D drawings. Some of the dimensions require tolerances where parts fit together (we are using H7/g6 locational clearance). This part I understand for the most part from reading Machinery's Handbook. But another designer added a symmetrical tolerance to the hole centre...
I am verifying some specifications for technical drawings of linear ball screw actuators. One of the specs is maximum speed, which I found the equation to be the lead size (mm) * rotational speed (s-1). How come for larger models the speed becomes affected by the accuracy grade and stroke...
The default anchor point for directional lights is the model origin and the direction around that point. It seems that the light has a fixed distance from the anchor point and it prevents me from illuminating the top of my model. Is there a way to move this anchor point or extend the distance...
For a reason unknown to me, only when I am using ADAMS/View in my school's computer labs there is an issue when drawing rigid bodies.
Links appear with various diagonal lines, as opposed to just the outline (when in front view). The image below demonstrates what I'm talking about. As far as I...
